 of congressional elections in South Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana will excite much discussion both in and out of Con- gress. It provides for the appoint ment by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, of four supervisors of election for each con- gressional district in the States to which the measure applies, who are required to sub-di- vide the district into sufficient number of voting precincts. In each precinct the circuit court of the United States is to appoint four inspectors and two poll clerks who are to make registration of the voters and conduct congressional elec- ! tions. The supervisors are to act as a can wasting board to receive the returns from the inspectors and ascertain and declare the re- suit of the election. The supervisors, in- spectors and poll clerks are to be divided equally between the two principal parties. | The measure is made applicable only to the States of South Carolina, Florida, Missis- sippi and Louisiana. It is elaborately drawn l and contains minute provisions governing the whole matter of registration and conduct of elections, together with penalties for cleo | tion frauds.
 Mr. Chandler believes that the constitu- tional power is ample either to make gen eral law of this kind for all States, one ap- p1icable to number of States, or special law in respect to any particular State. He is reported as saying further concerning his bill: It is my desire to secure if pos sible the passage of 8 national election law in those States where there is manifest
 and avowed suppression ofRepublican suffrage
 In Louisiana the Democratic lenders declare
 their intention not to allow colored people to
 vote the Republican ticket and have also
 asserted their intention to settle this question
 without the slightest regard for northern
 sentiment on the subject. Hence think
 that both northern sentiment and in
 terest should lead to the passage
 of laws to limit the suppression of the
 suffrage to elections for State officers and
 give us free suffrage for national offices.
 It is not probable that the bill will become
 law, though there is undoubtedly need for
 such law in regard to the States named and
 some others. But the Democratic House
 will not take kindly to it.

Higgins-Eugene-says he only wanted to stay in office long enough to prove that the mugwumps have less influence than he with this administration He has proved it.
 Young men and boys who smoke cigarettes ought to pay some attention to the frequent warnings against the practice. A boy of six teen has just died in Philadelphia of nicotine poisoning He was in the habit, it is stated, of smoking twenty or more cigarettes day.
 Itis claimed that there are already over 800, 900 workmen in the American federation of labor, while the ''noble" order is fast going to decay. The federation has better founda- tion than the noble order has, but it should avoid that kind of pride which goeth before fall.

President Cleveland said in his message that the tariff laws, "as their primary and plain effect. raise the price to consumers of all articles imported and subject to duty by precisely the sum paid for such duties" This seems plausible, but good illustration ot it's unsoundness is given in Q paper read before the Manufacturers club of Philadelphia, by Charles Heber Clark. Said MT. Clark: In 1866 Russian sheetiron sold at about eighteen cents a pound in this market. In 1873 American iron was put into active competi- tion with it under protection of a duty of two and half cents a pound Russian sheet iron sells for as much in Russia to-day as it ever did; but the price here has fallen to nine and half cents pound, while the Ameri- can article, equally good, is gold for still less. The workmen who roll the American sheet get the highest wages paid to skilled sheet rollers in the United States. Thus the so- called tax on Russian sheet iron has operated to reduce the cost of that article to the Amer ican consumer about one-half. The Ameri- can consumer saves eight and one-half cents pays that tax? In what way is it burden to the American people9 Suppose the tax should be taken of, and the American makers frozen out, and the price put back to eighteen cents, who would gain by that oper- ation? What is the measure of the audacity of the man who, while denouncing the duty, hides the fact of the decline in the pricea

It is evident that there is not going to be a "potato famine" in this country this year. The crop in most foreign countries has been large and mostly good, and we are already importing large quantities from the British maritime provinces of America and from Germany, Belgium, Holland and Denmark, where there are enough and to spare.

Mr.. WISE nominated for assistant enroll
ing clerk Clara j. Kelly, of Diana, San
Nj. ELLiOTT nominated J. A. wam-
ken, of Cass county. for the same Office,
and Mr.. Hawk seconded the latter nomina-

Mr.. WISE said the lady he had placed in

cry way competent for the discharge Of the
duties of the office, and he trusted she
would be elected.
The roll being called, Miss Kelly re-
ceived Al votes and Mfr, Wamken s votes.
Mr.. ELLIOTT moved to make Miss Kel-
ly's election unanimous, and said he was
not aware when he presented the name of
Mr.. Wamken that a lady had been placed
in nomination, or he never would have
Mr.. SULLIVAN nominated Daniel

Mr.. ELLIOTT nominated Mr.. Wamken.
The roll call resulted: Shields, 80: Wam-
Mr.. STEWART Of Fall River nominated

Mr.. COOPER nominated Rev. w. F.
Cook, of Bismarck, for chaplain.
While the roll was being called it was
interrupted by Mr.. Stewart OF Walsh, who
said that he had not heard the nomination
must be growing deaf--and he asked il it
was now too late to make another nOmina-
ton, and being informed by the speaker
that it was, when his name was reached in
the roll call, Mr.. Stewart voted ''no.'
Mr.. WILLIAMS called attention to the
presence in the house of Mr.. Schnaidt,

AN AUTHORITATIVE DENIAL.
You are wrong when you say that DIR.
Talmage, of the Brooklyn Tabernacle,
was thinking of the Dakota legislature,
when he took for his text last Sunday: "He
shall divide the spoils with the strong"
At first it was believed that the shy and
far-reaching Talmage had conferred with
the leaders of the territorial house of rep
resentatives, but the honest and conscien-
tious Mr.. Patten, of Miner, who voted with
the "strong'' yesterday, says that this i'm
preston is erroneous. Mr.. Patten has
placed himself on record as refusing to be
bribed with SIS. and he is not the man to go
with the strong for the spOils. He refused
to go to st. Paul to enter inio comblna-
tion with the south, and was honest enough
to state that he had been invited to partici-
pate; his motives are pure, and his speech

LEGLSLATIYE GOSSIP,
BREWING OF THE STORM.


The motionless calm that has taken pos
session Of the legislature, and which is so
good to behold, is the subject of much COM
ment among the gentlemen who have been
accustomed to witnessing clashing and
slashing and saving of air from the time
the solons gathered until they gathered up
their stationery and meandered homeward.
1t is evident that never in the history Of
Dakota has more harmonious Organiza-
tioh of the legislature been effected and the
frowns and scowls of the newspaper c0rre-
spondents are not without cause. But
every calm has its stormy interruption and
every legislature has its circus. The only
herald of the great show and congress Of
wonders which must soon be opened in
earnest is the quiet cancusing of the modest
yeOmen who have secured the organization
Of the house. The band Is now In readiness,
the performers have donned their delicately
tinted tights, the grand string band has
taken its position and began to pull the
strings, the wire-walkers are stretching

well known that among the prominent
candidates for speaker of the house were
Mr.. Fletcher, of Brown, and Mr.. Hobart, of

that he should do unto others as he would
have them do unto him: his religious scru-

combustion to gain share Of the spoils,
is slander he must resent. It is expected
that Mr.. Patten will distribute the favors

A DIiIIionaire's Wall.

Nothing is more ridiculous and con-
temptibie than the pretended dissatisfac-
ton of wealthy people with their riches.
An instance of this kind was furnished by
an eastern paper the other day. mill
ionaire was going up The Tribune eleva-
tor, and, incidentally hearing that one OF
the elevator men had gone to see the base
ball match, delivered himself of the fol
lowing:
THAT is right. You are not rich and can
afford to enjoy yourself. | am weighted
down with wealth and must work from
morning to night to take care of my in
teTests. wish l was boycotting somebody
so that l might have a rest"
This is a fair sample of a great deal of
talk that is heard from the wealthy men,
1t would be better left unsaid, because no
body believes that it is honest orthat it is
not arrant humbug and hypocrisy. If these
rich men are sincere they could very
easily lessen their burden. 1t is not very
difficult to get rid of ones money: But
they don't want to get rid of it. They
want to get more all the time, and they
work hard and decline recreation solely
for this purpose. Instead of contracting
their business they go on charging it.
They are so wrapped up in money-getting
that base ball has no attractions for them,
and that is the real reason they don't go
to see the games. No, your average rich
man has no desire to be a poor man,
whatever he may say to the contrary. He
is very well cOntented with his lot in life
